Francois Hollande, the Socialist & Obama’s Twin, Wins France
May 6, 2012 By Sara Noble
You know what is really funny – funny ironic – not funny haha? Hollande, the new French socialist President, has the same platform as Obama, but we are not allowed to call Obama a socialist.
The lamestream media is ignoring the similarities between the two men. Hollande is France’s third socialist president and Obama is our first.
Francois Hollande wants to rollback the Merkozy austerity deal between Sarkozy and Merkel, increase spending, add government stimulus, tax the rich by bringing the highest tax rate to 75% (that doesn’t include all their other taxes), keep pushing entitlements and government jobs, pumping up the green agenda, and he will probably cut the military.
Francois likes to demonize the 1% also.
They are already beyond the pale in France. A friend of mine just told me that if you have four children on welfare in France, they give you a car. If people don’t think that is ridiculous, then they are hopeless.
Some analysts believe Francois will focus on growth issues, not merely austerity measures. That has worked real well in the United States so of course they would want to try it too (irony here).
Solyndra could make its comeback in France along with the Volt. Oh, I forgot, China has dibs on the Volt. Francois should look at the fine job we do with the post office and model that right out of the gate.
I was pleased to see that at least Forbes had an article about the striking similarities between Hollande’s and Obama’s socialist agendas. Can I call Obama a socialist now?

And he has already come out promising more taxes and more spending
I think their goal is 75% tax
And France is already deeply in debt. I have recently hired a nanny who I just found out is a true believer (in socialism)
I think after her 3 months trial I am shipping her back home to France to enjoy their new socialist paradise
I always make her mad anyway- she was celebrating Hollande’s win and I said “Great! Now France can be another socialist paradise like Russia.. or China.. or Cuba... or N. Korea...”
I suppose they keep up the ‘hope’ that one day socialism will actually work. Getting free stuff for doing nothing is a dream that will never die.
France ceased to be a power of any consequence long ago. When 15,000 people die in a heatwave, that’s not saying much for a nation. They’ll reap what they sow.
We just celebrated the Mexicans defeating the French....THE MEXICANS?!?!
Why did you hire her in the first place (not that it’s any of my business)?
It occurs to me with the growing islamic population in France the unintentional teaming of the lazy frenchmen who want a free life and the islamist that want France to fail so that may replace the government with Shira may have produced this result.
There may be no going back for France ... next step Islamic control after the collapse

And according to the news... the rich are leaving!!!
Stick a fork in France, they’re done!
because I needed a babysitter
If you wanted a French nanny, why ship jobs abroad, why not hire Boudreaux and Thibodeaux?
I always make her mad anyway- she was celebrating Hollande’s win and I said “Great! Now France can be another socialist paradise like Russia.. or China.. or Cuba... or N. Korea...” 
freidn of a friend- essentially just wanted the opportunity to come to the USA
she was complaining about her eyeglasses and how long it took to get a new pair and how expensive it was..
I aske why? since they had wonderful socialized medicien. she told how long it took to get an appointment (weeks) and how you had limitted selections, and how long you had to wait to get them delievered and hope they did not have to be sent back because of crappy workmanship...
I just happend to need a new pair so we stopped at the mall and I got 2 new glasses made in an hour at lenscrafters- she was nearly speachless with disbelief
I read something on line that had the minutes of a meeting in England. The committee members were complaining that the health care needs to be balanced across all of the districts equally. One of the quotes was something like the following:
“There is no reason why a hearing test in my district has a wait of 38 weeks, while in London the wait is only 3 weeks”.
For a hearing TEST!
Hmm - I thought my recollection of the meeting was correct, but another article with some report from another group makes it out to be a longer wait in London - an AVERAGE of 18 months!!! Coming to a city near you.
*********************************
A RNID report, Waiting to Hear?, found that the hard of hearing must also put up with out-dated technology.
The report found that the longest wait for a hearing test was in London - at an average of 18 months.
Waiting times varied greatly around the country, from 14.5 weeks in the south-west to seven weeks in the north-west.
The average wait was 10.5 weeks, but one centre in 10 made people wait more than 26 weeks for a hearing test.
After a test, a further appointment is needed to have a hearing aid fitted, and for this the RNID report found that people can wait up to a further 12 months.
Once in the system, people are generally fitted with out-of-date technology, the RNID report found.
“she was nearly speachless with disbelief”
Yeah - she was probably thinking “SUCKER! In France we get our eyeglasses for FREE!”
GEEZ I AM SORRY FOR ALL THE TYPOS!!
Fat fingers and bad eyesight combined with being in a hurry at work (compile finished sooner than i expected)
